The right of Ibrahim Khan's army, however, carried away the left of Sikandar's force, and driving them back pursued them as far as the township of Hodal and Palwal, shouting, "Prosperity to Ibrahim Khan!" Haibat Khan at the instant the two opposing ranks closed, passing by the side of his root, and seeing it had been torn to shreds by the pillaging party, in pretended ignorance of what had occurred hastened to Alwar. A slight engagement ensued with Miyan Yahya Paran who commanded the advanced guard of Sikandar's army, and a wound was inflicted upon the hand of Miyan Yahya and two of his fingers were cut off. He did not draw rein till he arrived at Sambhal. Ibrahim Khan took up a position on the lower ground with four hundred men, and with his front facing downhill awaited the attack of Sikandar, the shots from whose mortars passed over the heads of his men, so that they could not move a step.
